We've seen several cool projects during the coronavirus pandemic that people have designed using the Raspberry Pi platform. Over on reddit, another very cool project has turned up from someone going by balmy-summer, and the project is called the Pi MixMakr. The project has five bottles of liquor on top along with five dispensers inside the cabinet. The drink glass is set on a sliding platform that moves under the bottles to mix a cocktail and inject cola or other flavorings as desired.

The whole point of the machine is to mix a drink without the drinker actually having to do it themselves. The parts list for the project includes:

The builder does speak a little bit about the capability of the machine, and the website where you can order drinks. The builder says that a drink consists of multiple ingredients, with every ingredient having its location and stock quantity stored in the database. A Python app fetches the order from the Laravel API that the website is built with and processes it. The app has threads for reading all of the sensors used in the build of the MixMakr device.
